Story Synopsis:
Nominated for three Academy Awards®, The Fugitive is one of the most exciting and thrilling action movies ever made. When Dr. Richard Kimble (Ford), falsely convicted for the murder of his wife, escapes from prison, an intense manhunt begins under the unrelenting Sam Gerard (Jones in his Oscar®-winning role). Determined to prove his innocence, Kimble leads his pursuers to the one-armed man responsible for his beloved wife’s death.
LaserDisc Picture:
This is a beautiful transfer. The picture has been matted to 1.88:1. Colors are accurate and vibrant. Flesh tones are generally accurate but slightly reddish in hue which renders an over saturated rough look in some scenes. Detail and sharpness is excellent and the picture is virtually artifact free. The framing is perfectly balanced.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is awesome! The theatrical release was a Dolby Stereo Digital six-track discrete mix with extremely wide dynamic range. It sounds wonderful. Bass extension was measured down to 35 Hz in the surrounds during the celebrated train/prison bus scene. It is extremely spacious and dy-namic with an aggressive surround envelopment that is exemplary. A winner!
